Great Time at Smuggler's Cove Inn

Our room was newly renovated and we were the first to stay in it. It was beautiful, clean, the bed was very comfortable and having a deck overlooking the ocean was a great plus. We had a great housekeeper and the free breakfast was awesome. I can't say enough about the inn. I would recommend to anyone to stay there.
Donald, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Just okay

This inn was recently renovated but is still in progress in some areas. Our bathroom still had wall patches that hadn’t been painted. Our bathroom and the check in office smelled like a litter box. There’s minimal light in the room. We were thankful for the breakfast that was offered and everyone was nice.

Beautiful place to stay!

Beautiful place to stay! From the front it doesn’t look like much but once you get to the views in the back yard you won’t be disappointed! They couldn’t offer early check in which is fine but they let us leave a vehicle in the parking lot so we could go into town before check in! The pool was warm with a gorgeous view of the bay but it could use cleaning or a vacuum. The room was pretty and clean. I love that every room had 2 Adirondack chairs outside to enjoy the view with a cup of coffee in the morning! The fire pit had wood, paper, and kindling ready to go, we just needed to go to the front desk for a lighter. We didn’t have a dog but we saw a lot of guests with them and the property was very dog friendly! The restaurant was closed on the night of my stay so I can’t review. But the breakfast in the morning had a lot of options and was tasty. Will definitely coming back, hopefully for more than one night and with the whole family this time! There’s a whole lot to do on the property with kayaks and SUPs, the pool, and the fire pit

We stayed at the end of the season to view the foliage and visit the pumpkin fest. The inn was nicely decorated and had amazing views of the harbor. The inn had nice amenities like a fire pit and free breakfast. We were also pleased at it proximity to booth bay harbor shops and restaurants.
